Warning:
When using the controller to control the element this is activated by the top sensor being under the set point. Most
solar cylinders have the sensor pocket too high, this should be at the halfway point. If using a high sensor pocket (T3)
to control the element you will not guarantee the client more than 30L of hot water.
Ensure good contact between probe and what you are measuring.
